Jairo Believes in God’s Miracles

For those of you who do not know my uncle Jairo Bernal, I would like to share his story.

My uncle Jairo has always been the center of the Bernal family. He is an amazing husband, dad, grandpa, son, brother, uncle and friend. He is the type of guy you always want to be around because he is fun, charismatic, loving, witty, a talented musician and an overall great man!

You will see my uncle Jairo at his happiest when he is spending time with his family, hosting our entire family at his house, or when he is making people dance with his wonderful TropyBand.

Back in September 2022 my uncle Jairo started experiencing sporadic excruciating abdominal pain. In late December 2022 he was diagnosed with a rare cancer called poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma -a very aggressive cancer.

In the cancer world, neuroendocrine tumors are the zebras. Represented by this analogy because of their rarity, neuroendocrine tumors make up just 2% of nationally treated cancers!!! 

This news was extremely devastating to my uncle, and everyone in our family, but after countless prayers and talking with various doctors, my uncle decided to undergo chemotherapy.

Unfortunately, the medical expenses for a cancer patient are astronomical. We are hoping to raise funds to cover his chemo and other medical expenses.

So far, my uncle Jairo has had 4 sessions of chemotherapy. He is doing extremely well and everyone in the family is so proud of his positive attitude and his bravery. His faith is bigger than ever and his love for life, family and friends is to be admired.

According to the type of cancer that my uncle has, it is said that he will never be cancer free. However, the chemotherapy will stop the progression and we believe in Gods miracles!

I never thought I would be creating a GoFundMe for my uncle Jairo. But here I am hoping to touch your heart.

Thank you in advance for all your beautiful prayers and donations to my uncle Jairo and his family.

May God multiply your blessings!

Jairo cree en los milagros de Dios

Para aquellos de ustedes que no conocen a mi tío Jairo Bernal, me gustaría compartir su historia.

Mi tío Jairo siempre ha sido el centro de la familia Bernal. Es un increíble esposo, padre, abuelo, hijo, hermano, tío y amigo. ¡Es el tipo de hombre con el que siempre quieres estar porque es divertido, carismático, cariñoso, ingenioso, un músico talentoso y un gran hombre!

Su mayor alegria es compartir el tiempo con su familia, atender a toda nuestra familia en su casa, y hacer bailar y gozar a la gente con su gran orquesta TropyBand.

En Septiembre de 2022, mi tío Jairo comenzó a sentir un dolor abdominal esporádico e insoportable. A fines de Diciembre de 2022 se le diagnosticó un cáncer raro llamado carcinoma neuroendocrino pobremente diferenciado -un tipo de cancer bien agresivo.

En el mundo del cáncer, los tumores neuroendocrinos son las cebras. Representados por esta analogía debido a su rareza, los tumores neuroendocrinos representan solo el 2% de los cánceres tratados a nivel nacional.

Esta noticia fue extremadamente desconcertada para mi tío y para todos en nuestra familia, pero después de innumerables oraciones y hablar con varios médicos, mi tío decidió someterse a quimioterapia.

Desafortunadamente, los gastos médicos para un paciente con cáncer son astronómicos. Esperamos recaudar fondos para cubrir su quimioterapia y otros gastos médicos.

Hasta ahora, mi tío Jairo ha tenido 4 sesiones de quimioterapia. Lo está haciendo extremadamente bien y todos en la familia estámos muy orgullosos de su actitud positiva. Su fe es más grande que nunca y su amor por la vida, la familia y los amigos es admirable.

Nunca pensé que estaría creando un GoFundMe para mi tío Jairo. Pero aquí estoy esperando que haya tocado tu corazón.

Gracias de antemano por todas sus hermosas oraciones y donaciones a mi tío Jairo y su familia.

¡Que Dios multiplique sus bendiciones!
